Marcel Duchamp spoke about the lighting in his studio in 1910-1911 …”You know that gaslight from the old Aver jet is green; I wanted to see what the changing of colors would do. When you paint in green light and then, the next day, you look at it in daylight, its a lot more mauve, gray, and more like what the Cubists were painting at the time.” An experiment in how the environment affects the finished painting. Perception is tricky … This should be fun !
